Eagle's Nest - Lake Michigan Private Beach & Year-Round Hot Tub! Manistee, MI

Spring 2025 - Open Dates for You!
Summer 2025 - (June 8-11 open; all other dates are booked)
Fall/Winter 2025 - Newly Opened

Welcome to Eagles’ Nest! This highly acclaimed 3 bedroom, 2 ½ bath and amenity-rich Lake Michigan vacation home, boasts private stairs to a beautiful beach on Lake Michigan! With 80 steps to Lake Michigan’s shores and a recently added seawall, this is one of a few homes that have an accessible, beautiful beach!

Outside, you will enjoy a year-round private hot tub built into a wrap-around deck, a pergola overlooking unforgettable sunsets, hiking on 140 acres of marked trails, outdoor furniture, grilling options (gas & charcoal), watching the wildlife (including six area mature bald eagles - which were recently featured on a PBS documentary), and a fire pit with Adirondack chairs.

Inside, you will enjoy a thoroughly clean and tastefully updated home that features beautiful cabinetry, a well-stocked kitchen, new carpets, plenty of activities for a getaway, two 55” TVs with cable, three bedrooms, and one common sleeping area with two beds and a bunk bed. With a fantastic cleaner, we often are told the home is the cleanest rental property guests have ever stayed at. With all of the amenities, capacity for this vacation home is eight adults and children. Please note the home is PET-FREE and the indoor fireplace is not available due to insurance reasons.

If you are not enjoying the lake, hot tub, or the beautiful colors (especially in the fall), downtown Manistee and Ludington are not far out of reach. With access to fishing charters, golfing at Manistee National or Arcadia Bluffs, skiing at Crystal Mountain, or exploring the Manistee National Forest, Northern Michigan has it all!

As you will see in our reviews, guests most often comment about their love for Lake Michigan, the broad amenities at the home, the abundance of wildlife/nature, the exceptional cleanliness, and great communication!

Come and see for yourself why Eagle’s Nest is a perfect place for a family getaway, anniversary trip, or reason to use a few vacation days. We’re looking forward to hosting you!

The property is very well kept and in a quiet area. Close to many hiking trails, dunes, bluffs and beaches. The sunsets were stunning and sounds of waves at the shore were hypnotic. We saw the northern lights and the area regal eagle too.

My husband and I stayed for a long weekend to celebrate our 10th anniversary. The house is charming and stocked with everything you could need. The hot tub, fire pit and breathtaking views of Lake Michigan make this property one-of-a-kind. Great communication with owners Abby and Kyle. Would book again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Abby and Kyle for sharing your slice of heaven with us. We made memories to last a lifetime.

Short but sweet

We love Manistee, and wanted to go there for a mini vacation. We looked for a place to stay, found the Eagles Nest and was very happy with our decision to stay there. The view was spectacular, the house was clean and had everything we needed. We loved our time there and we will go back.

Lake house

The couch was held up with books for one leg. There was a toilet in the yard. The private hot tub and deck were not at all private. You can’t use the fireplace that is listed several times in the description. The house was fully stocked. The view is amazing.

Beautiful Setting!

This home has a gorgeous outside setting right on Lake Michigan. The spacious deck runs the length of the house and has a nice table, comfortable chairs and glider, and a nice hot tub which was clean and ready to go when we arrived. There was a separate fire pit area and another deck towards the beach. The owners were great communicating during the booking process and throughout. A thorough welcome book put together was great for our stay. The kitchen was well stocked and the view from inside the house was great! We brought our bikes and enjoyed riding some nice trails that weren’t too far away.

Perfect for our family!

I planned this vacation for when my kids came home from Romania, where they live. We had the quiet they needed to rest up after doing 5 weeks of camp. The sunsets were calming. The majestic eagles soaring above us were a great reminder of the freedom we experience here in America. We had plenty no of room in the house and even laughed when we saw the single bedroom in the peek where we placed our resident snoring person. The stay was perfect in every way! We’ll come again!

We are always looking to spend time in our hectic lives to unwind and relax with our family. We had a wonderful time between staying at the beach, relaxing in the hot tub, intense board games and sightseeing in Manistee. Our house was so welcoming and warm. Couldnt have found a better place to unwind. Loved everything about our stay. Thank you

We loved staying at this property. The views from the deck are amazing! We enjoyed collecting beach glass along the shore. The hot tub and fire pit were perfect for the cooler evenings. The house is very well stocked, the kitchen has everything you could need. Neighborhood is safe and quiet, not too far of a drive into town.

Great property - but smells like wet dog

The property and it's view is stunning. As the other reviewers have stated - it's likely the best equipped house you'll ever stay in. It has everything you could possibly want. However the property is certainly not "pet free". The living area and one of the bedrooms smells like wet dog - so much so that our kids stuffed animals and our comforters (we travel with our own bedding on road trips) need to be professionally laundered after staying here. We loved the house, the view, etc. but the smell was too much for us to stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Abigail and Kyle Weener

Host profile image
Our family loves sharing our Manistee properties with others! Kyle works as an elementary principal and I play for a number of Midwest symphonies - as a violinist. Since 2015, we have operated a number of rental properties and a real estate brokerage in Michigan. As a young family (our kids are 5, 1, and a newborn), we know the joy it brings our family and are thrilled when we get to share it with others from around the world!

Why they chose this property

Growing up in Michigan, our family treasured great memories vacationing in the Manistee area. It is our joy to now share this experience with others! Eagle's Nest is one of a few homes along the lakeshore that has beautiful upgrades, strong amenities (a hot tub - to name one), a private beach with steps to Lake Michigan, tremendous nature - including bald eagle's that live next to the property, and a location close to downtown Manistee and not far from Ludington!

What makes this property unique

Some unique benefits include: a beautiful wrap around deck, year-round hot tub, views of Lake Michigan, and rural setting - yet 10 minutes out from downtown Manistee, 15 minutes to Little River Casino, and 25 minutes to Arcadia Bluffs. Don't forget about the hiking trails across the street, fire pit, tons of outdoor furniture, and a home that is in excellent condition!
